OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

It's been a while since I've been on. I have two active in fleet. Just took my 3rd and last son to MEPS today and just got a text he just landed in Chicago about 30 min ago. Very hard for us to come home to an empty house, the dog isn't even here. We boarded her for a couple nights so we could stay in Houston last night.

@ Bandit: must be the year for pools because we got one too! Don't think I know any Tuckers. We live out of town on 3 acres. Come in the fall when it is cooler.

I live in Palacios, TX which is in Matagorda County on Matagorda Bay. My best friend's son, wife (and their two children - except they are away at college) also live in New Braunfels. Their last name is Tucker. They've been wanting me to come up and see the new addition and pool they recently added to their house which is right by the River, but haven't made it up there yet.

@L3Gmom: College isn't for everyone but maybe he will use the military education program to finish later. Good he is not just out of high school but has some college experience behind him!

J's/S's mom - My son took an unusual path. He already graduated from college with a degree in electrical engineering but joined the Navy as enlisted. *pounds head against wall*

Yes loop around St. Louis and Chicago if you can. We took 355 (toll road) all the way up to Libertyville and then over to North Chicago, it was about 45mins out of the way, but no traffic, other than some red lights. It was 3.25 in change. I skipped Chicago altogether for driving. We took train down to Chicago and rode over to the Navy Pier for some fun! If you don't have the entire weekend, just relax, and enjoy the time you do have! There are plenty of parks along Lake Michigan with scenery to enjoy and lighthouses to see. They make for good photos!

Lynn, we drove and it was so worth it! And if you don't make it to Sarge's meet and greet, I got some great tips!
